# Running in the Factory App
Use Factory Missions in the Factory App to plan and execute large, multi-feature projects with structured orchestration.
## The Mission Control dashboard
While you can run Missions from the CLI, the Factory App provides a rich, visual Mission Control dashboard. This interface helps you act as a project manager by giving you greater visibility into what your orchestrator, workers, and validators are doing.
## Starting and resuming Missions
{/* sweep-allow: term-bullets */}
- **Start a new mission:** You can select **Mission Mode** when creating a new session, or start a mission directly from the Mission Control page.
- **Continue a past mission:** Navigate to the Mission Control tab to find past missions, review their current state, and resume execution exactly where you left off.
- **Run on remote machines:** When starting a mission, you can select a **Droid Computer** as your target environment. This allows long-running missions to execute safely in the background on persistent remote machines without tying up your local workspace.
## Navigating the UI
The Mission Control dashboard gives you real-time visibility into your multi-agent workflows:
{/* sweep-allow: term-bullets */}
- **Track Progress:** See exactly what has been done so far. The top bar tracks overall time and credits, while the right sidebar maintains a live progress log of every worker and milestone.
- **Select Models:** Use the model dropdowns in the right sidebar to configure different models for the Orchestrator, Worker, and Validator agents on the fly.
- **Inspect Features:** The main view provides a high-level summary of the active milestone. You can drill down into any feature to review its specific validation criteria and commits.
- **Examine Workers:** The left sidebar lists all active and completed workers. Select a specific worker to view its detailed terminal output, thought process, and any sub-tasks it completed.
- **Intervene & Redirect:** If a Mission appears stuck or priorities change, pause the orchestrator directly from the UI, instruct it to re-assess or re-plan, and then resume execution.
Tune mission models, reasoning effort, and enterprise access policy.
Monitor and steer missions from the terminal instead of the app.
